Best English tournament performance I can remember. Seemed comfortable for most of it. Genuinely staggered. Thank Christ for working from home...

Fortunately due to the 5 day self isolation requirement the travelling scum wont be able to go to the quarter final in Italy.

We’ll get knocked out soon enough. Then we can be treated to news reports of fighting and vandalism by drunken England football supporters. A nation is nothing without its traditions.

If Harry Kane wasn't so off the pace that could've been a real statement win. Yeah I know he scored but pretty much any player in the squad would've scored that - he was lazy and sluggish all game, and even at the end when all it would take was some effort and pressing to ensure the win he couldn't be bothered. Somethings very wrong with him and he's a total lead weight.
I don't think he is fit. Problem is that the games come thick and fast so there is no time really to give him a week off.

Like you I thought England were pretty comfortable, bar that Muller chance, against a relatively poor German side. The draw has really opened up and there is no reason really why they shouldn't make the final. Once you are there, anything can happen.

If I were an England fan Kane being off the boil and the defence not really being tested would be my only concerns. But it is all looking pretty positive.

Middle class handwringing over the England team is always amusing.

Saturday night has real 'pubs run dry' potential.

Was a pretty bad one, so I could see it being a red sometimes. Thems the breaks, eh? Makes up for the Lampard goal.

Some pretty disgraceful comments on twitter about that picture. I know every country has utterly moronic cunts but it is dissappointing.


The other thing I find slightly maddening about football is anytime someone doesn't behave like a rabid animal it is Karse... Jurgen Klinsman was absolute class last night because of how he behaved after the loss. Or could it just be mature adult reacts with grace to a well deserved England win??

Klinnsman's always been incredibly nice, to be honest.

From memory that girl was shown a little bit before just looking a little confused. Have to feel sorry for her, and I hate how sport can make people act. Just as well no-one was photographing me when the Lions 2017 touring squad was announced :silent:

I'm sure some people have disgraced themselves as ever.

But not sorry for having a chuckle and cheering when I saw it on the TV, everyone else would do exactly the same if she was English. That's sport and it's objectively funny, the beauty of sport is it can easily be one of our fans in Rome on Saturday.

Quite, who cannot laugh at an adult crying at the result but a child? they will be feeling all sorts of emotions that she doesn't understand probably mainly that her father is not at all happy and she is confused.

Nope, it's not "life", what kind of cunt takes pleasure in seeing a child in distress?

That doesn't wash, it's no excuse, It's nasty, unjustifiable, selfish, deluded, pathetic twattery of the highest order.

'in distress'. Her football team lost a game. They will lose many more. Give over.

To be fair she was probably just sick of the band and 40,000 English fans hurling abuse at anyone who had a German top on. Dad - they’re all so angry and I’m frightened. Etc etc.

Yawn.

Anyway, all a distraction from what was a very good performance, one slice of luck with Muller's miss notwithstanding. Excellent Round of 16 all told and now very open.

Was that the one on top of his foot/ankle? Collins? Can’t view them side by side but it didn’t look very different from the one that the Welsh lad got sent off for against Italy.
